If you wanted to build them yourself - ordering a CNC machine, silk screen, etc. - you’d be spending quite a lot on setup, but the nice thing about PCBs is that you can have them made for you with everything included for very affordable price with a streamlined ordering process.īeyond the logistical advantages, custom art PCBs can make great gifts, conference badges, or “smart decorations” - not to mention they can make your next electronics project look that much cooler. Well, for starters, they are dirt cheap to have made (they can get as low as $5 for a batch, even including worldwide shipping), and the manufacturing process includes many steps and processes we can take advantage of in our designs. I designed an angry panda circuit board, really happy with how it came out! thanks ? /ZJBNsK6g1c- Uri Shaked Aug(I’ve got a T-Rex PCB based on the Chrome offline game, “The Disconnectosaurus” on the way as well.)īut why would you want to make art out of a PCB? My girlfriend had a birthday, so I designed this small PCB for her ? #DiY #Makers /2sn4akLro9- Uri Shaked March 21, 2017 When I started working on ng-beacon, I realized that you could do even more with PCBs: you could make them “art,” too! This led to designing a heart-shaped keychain light for my girlfriend’s birthday, as well as an ‘angry panda’ I made for my friend Pavel 'PK' Kaminsky (meant to resemble the logo of his CrossFit club): Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are literally all around us: nearly every consumer electronic good contains a PCB, and more and more we see people designing their own to use in their DIY electronics projects - I’ve certainly designed a few myself for all kinds of funky projects! 18 min read How to Turn Custom Artwork into Fun and Functional Electronic Circuit Boards!.
